commute. getting warm and sweaty.

Splash!
Thursday night paddle, 4 hard loops, with 3-4 mins easy paddling in-between. swell/waves were crazy and I finally had my first deep water involuntary swim! It was great that it was on a thursday - i.e. ideal for being rescued if things didn't go well, but given a choice it would have been better not to go in right next to an anchored tall ship filled with party goers. I got back in straight away (yay!) and gave them all a wave before setting off again. Aside from the swim I had a really good session - the choppier it gets, the better i go compared to the other people normally around my level.

cruisy morning paddle before wind picked up.

twilight race.really could have done without this as I''m still a bit stiff and sore from saturday but whatever. Had a lacklustre start which wasn't great but toughed it out on the 2nd loop to pick up someone's wash so I was happy about that.

warm up warm down

Had planned to go for a recovery paddle but the weather was alternating between fine and sunny and howling gale with horizontal rain all day. Swim was the better choice.
